BRADLEY BEACH IS OPEN AND THE CHILDREN HAVE A NEW SAFE PLACE.

April 27th 2013

Bradley Beach is Open and The Children have a new safe place.

The sun was up and ready to welcome the rebirth of a special place along the New Jersey Shore. The Mayor and members of The Bradley Beach NJ council officially reopened the Sergeant

Charles M. Bud Cozzens playground along the grand promenade where the ocean meets the street.

The Bradley Beach first-aid squad was on hand to show off their new 2013 ambulance and to pay respect to Sergeant Cozzens who was a life member of the squad as well as the local fire department before his death in the line of duty in 1964.

The people of Bradley Beach who were lucky and were spared a large amount of damage during Super Storm Sandy were very happy to see the grand reopening of the playground. The playground which did suffer major infrastructure damage as well as the outer support wall facing Ocean Avenue which was heavily damage due to the mass amount of water from this super storm is now open and a safe place for our children to come and play and to use their imagination said Council Member Salvatore A. Galassetti.

The Bradley Beach Public Works Department did a great job said Mayor Gary Engelstad under the leadership of Richard T. Bianchi, Jr. Operating Supervisor of Public Works and his men the Borough is open for business and this summer visitors will find safe clean beaches with Great Service and Amenities, like new clean restrooms, well trained lifeguards and great food Concisions.

The Passionate Progressive at The Shore.

When this time of the year rolls around you here many saying that summer is going to be like the best and everyone is going to be so busy with all the tourists that the locals will have to wait till September to go back to their favored hangouts.

Well after Super Storm Sandy last year many local government officials are worried that people will not return to the beaches. As a passionate progressive I see it as a great time to show the tourists that we do care about our businesses and neighbours not just the money we make from the ocean and beaches.
We can do this by sharing with them the stories of Super Storm Sandy, like the story of many small business owners still waiting for help to rebuild or the home owners who lost everything and their insurance company still has not paid, or the towns who FEMA and our elected state and federal officials have forgotten.
First lets show people we care by helping our neighbours by bring good livable wage jobs and a better economy to The Jersey Shore. Let us remember to think before we buy is this store helping its neighbours and adding to the quility of life or are just here to make money off your hard work and sweet.
Buy local, vacation local, support a stong Jersey Shore this year do not sit home and wait till September to visit your favored hangouts head to the boardwalk and the beaches, not to the city or to other states keep your money local and remember The Jersey Shore is Strong and Open for Business.

Bradley Beach Restaurant Tour 2013

Bradley Beach April, 22nd 2013
By Edith Mack

Over 100 people attended The First Bradley Beach Restaurant Tour.

It was a great day to taste the fare of many local restaurants said many. I am so full and I am only half way done. Irene great Greek food was worth the whole trip. Uva was a great place to stop and relax and enjoy the great mix of food samples. The shuttle was a great add I was so full by the time I got to Vics I needed a ride back to the Perfect Perk.

The street was buzzing with people and it was a great turn out said many of the local restaurants owners, it was nice to hear from the people how much they love our food. The organizers did a great job and we hope they do it again.

Here is some photos from the Bradley Beach Chamber.
